    It's more likely than not that Nate would injure himself or fall when attempting to hop on the moving seat because he doesn't have a good balance and his knees are trembling. This could be out of nervousness or because of the cold. The author used the underlined phrase to show Nate's possible fear/anxiety ("his heart racing like the wind") about boarding the moving seat.
